Mobile, AL (Sports Network) - Freshman wideout J.D. McKissic hauled in 11
catches for 113 yards and a score on Sunday to help Arkansas State earn a
17-13 victory over No. 25 Kent State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl at Ladd- Peebles
Stadium. McKissic put the finishing touches on a record-breaking freshman
campaign, as his 103 catches this season set a new school record. Ryan Aplin
threw the touchdown pass to McKissic and finished 21-of-30 for 213 yards
without an interception for the Red Wolves (10-3), who finished the season on
an eight-game win streak en route to their first bowl win since joining the
FBS in 1992. Kent State had won 10 straight games to close out the regular
season, but dropped a 44-37 double overtime decision to Northern Illinois in
the MAC Championship game that would have sent the Golden Flashes (11-3) to a
BCS bowl. Spencer Keith completed 17-of-33 passes for 157 yards with an
interception, while running back Dri Archer rushed for 77 yards and a score on
nine carries, but injured his knee in the fourth quarter and was unavailable
on the team's final drive.
